Tutoring Information
Fall and winter tutoring groups are done the week of December 15. We will start new tutoring groups when we return from winter break. Teachers who are tutoring will reach out to families with students that could benefit from extra support through tutoring. If you were in a fall/winter group, these groups have dissolved and you will be contacted if your child is in need of continued tutoring.
Principal's Pen
Last week’s RAP was super busy, so I’m going to keep this short! We are hoping to treat our staff to a meal on December 20th (last day before break). Please click the link below to sign up to contribute something to the meal (there are home cooked and store bought options): https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4AA8A92CAAFDC43-46281768-holiday
We will be having a couple more theme days as we work our way toward Winter Break. They’re outlined below:
Silly Holiday Sweater/Shirt on Thursday, December 14th
Pajama Day on Monday, December 18th
Meal for staff on Wednesday, December 20th
Book Swap
Book Swap Information
We are going to have a book swap for students! Here’s how it works:
- Students bring gently used books to school to donate for the swap. This is a great time to go through your bookshelf at home and donate books you no longer want.
- Their teacher will keep track of their donation.
- It is a 1-for-1 swap, so students who bring in 3 books will get to choose 3 books (max 5). *Note: all students will get at least one book from the book swap.
- On the day of the swap, all students will get to visit the collection of books and choose at least one book.
Bring books until December 13. The book swap will be held December 14.
To make the book swap day a success, we need help from some wonderful volunteers! If you are able to volunteer, please sign up for a time slot here… https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090944ADAF2EAAF58-46666908-book

Unit B still has many students without headphones. This affects their ability to utilize audio options on learning and reading apps. Please ask your student if they have working headphones at school. Thank you!
